Yup. And the amounts that he's taking are small compared to full blown addicts.
From the Radar Online story, it sounds like the "source" with the pics were the people who sold him the pills. Also its a non-story because he admitted that he had a problem and sought help last Spring and this story apparently takes place BEFORE that. Dude needed help and got it. -fin-
